A whole host of stuff; but eliminating all movement just prior to release has really boosted my accuracy.

A clicker, without a doubt. It was the one piece of the puzzle I was missing.

Shooting at 3D shoots and stump-shooting with friends who were better than me. I was able to kick back and watch some excellent shooting and learn a ton every weekend, J

I too would have to say the single biggest factor for me would have to be the Shooters Form Forum.  In particular Terry, Curt, McDave, Rod Jenkins, and Batman all helped me tremendously.  I posted a video a couple years ago and the response was quick, clear and spot on!  I learned more in one week than I had in 3 years of self diagnosis/learning and trying to make it all make sense.  I enjoy Moebows posts/videos as well.

Thank you so much for this forum Terry!  I think I may post another shooting vid up soon to get somemore feedback!

Care to elaborate on that?  You've got that 2004 IBO title.  I'm just a guy that finishes 3rd to 5th at local shoots...

watching Rod Jenkins' segment in Masters of the Barebow 3 and then committing to shooting the blank bale.  Still a work in progress but definitely making positive changes for me.

For me without a doubt it has been video taping myself from different angles and analyzing it over and over. It is a real eye opener and shows up a lot of flaws big and small. Especially if you mostly shoot alone. I have my work cut out this winter!

Dropping down in bow weight....Not struggling with the draw or hold. Now all my bows are 52/55/57#.

Also, knowing when to stop practicing when getting tired. This will lead to bad habits that can be hard to break.

watching Terry's segment on aligment on the Bowhunter's of Trad Gang and putting it into practice, and then finding a solid repeatable anchor point (instead of what I though was solid and repeatable). My avatar pic shows what I was doing. I'm leaving it so I don't forget...

World of difference!
